Kachinas

A kachina (or katsina) is a religious icon from the Hopi culture. Hopi kachinas are elaborately carved by artists who spend their whole life studying the art of carving as well as aquiring a deep understanding of Hopi spirituality. Other cultures like the Navajo (Dineh) have adopted kachina making, integrating some of thier own icons into the craft.
